First few days in Edinburgh



After being in Scotland for over a week now, I'm starting to feel a little more settled in. My adventures began with quite a few difficulties, but now that I have my luggage and a working phone, I think I will like it here.
My first full day, I went with a few French students to Edinburgh Castle. Although it was a dreary day, the view from the castle walls was amazing.

This week has been spent exploring the city, getting to know my three flatmates, finding the cheapest places to buy groceries, and learning to look the opposite way before crossing the street.


During the next few months, I hope to keep you up-to-date through this picture blog. Thank you for all your prayers and encouraging messages!

Oh Kristin, I'm so glad you've posted this blog. The photos are great - and I really like those tartan scarves! Thanks for taking the time to do this - we'll really enjoy checking it from time to time. Have lots of fun!

Hello,
I REALLY enjoyed your blog. I have Scottish ancestry and would like to go there some day, so this was like a commercial for a trip. Your pics are wonderful. I am a teacher so I could use these pics in class. I will keep watching and reading...
